This has been one of those scenes that’s been written since 2007 or so. I’m happy to be on it.

First, thanks for the support! Second, I don’t think I’ve explained in story why she has the copper and cotton. Other mages do as well though. They’re referred to as “terminals” and take the place of a wand. All spells in the EAverse require a metal and an organic component. Often this will be a wooden wand with copper wrapped around it. In 1982 they discovered they could wear copper bands on one arm and cotton bandages on the other and get the same effect. Doesn’t really effect the story, bit it helps me to make the world more real.

You should totally have a magically clueless character. Then explaining it would be easy, someone just goes “So what’s with the bandages?”
Then again, you’d have to FIND someone magically clueless, and the easiest way I see that happening is someone from another world where there isn’t magic, or a kid. Don’t think the first would fit, and the second…also wouldn’t fit, why would they let a kid tag along?

But hey, I’m not a writer. And you clearly are, since you even have a year to go along with when that was found out.
